The stranger appears as a large man in rags, straining against a chain attached to a massive wagon. His cowl conceals his features, and the only glimpse of his expression comes in a flash of teeth when he smiles. The text gives him no further history or personal arc.
Description
He is a big man in ragged clothing, though no exact height, build, age, or coloring is specified. A cowl hides his features, leaving his face and eyes unseen; when he smiles, only a flash of teeth is visible. A chain attached to a massive wagon accompanies him, contributing to his imposing, enigmatic presence.
